Ubisoft provides walkthrough of Assassin's Creed 3's naval warfare

Heading into Assassin's Creed 3, one of the major focuses has been on the game's all-new naval warfare feature.

Considered by some to be nothing more than a glorified version of the previously seen tower defense feature seen in prior Assassin's Creed games, the naval warfare in Assassin's Creed 3 aims to further immerse players in 18th century Colonial America as they fight for freedom and liberty against ruthless tyranny.

In today's video creative director Alex Hutchinson further details naval warfare, highlighting the cannons and ammunition used by Connor as he commands a naval warship through tumultuous waters and against enemy ships.
